User Interface Development Flashcards

A user reports that a field they need is missing from the Opportunity record page but it exists on the page layout. What is a likely cause in a Lightning Experience environment?

Answer: The field-level security removes the field for that profile

Field-level security (FLS) controls whether a user can see a field regardless of page layout or Lightning record page configuration; FLS takes precedence.

An administrator wants to let users edit multiple fields on a record without clicking Edit. Which Lightning Experience feature enables this?

Inline editing in Lightning Experience allows users to click on a field value directly on the record detail to edit it without entering full edit mode.

A company wants to display a customized set of fields in the record highlights panel at the top of a Lightning record page. Which feature controls those fields?

An administrator notices that a custom button configured for a 'URL' behavior type opens an internal Salesforce page in a new browser tab instead of navigating within the app. What is the recommended fix?

Answer: Replace the custom button with a Lightning quick action

Classic-style URL custom buttons often open new tabs; replacing them with Lightning quick actions provides a native, in-app experience.

Which statement best describes the difference between an 'object-specific action' and a 'global action' in Salesforce?

Answer: Object-specific actions create records pre-populated with related data; global actions create blank records from anywhere

Object-specific actions leverage the current record's context to pre-populate fields, while global actions are context-free and available from anywhere in the app.

An administrator wants to add a utility item so support agents can quickly access the History tab while working in any record. Where should this be configured?

The utility bar in Lightning App settings provides a persistent toolbar at the bottom of the screen where admins can add utility items like History for quick access.

A manager wants to see a visual summary of pipeline stages for Opportunities directly on an Account record page. Which standard Lightning component is best suited for this?
